ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/0163-7258(94)90022-1 | Abstract: | Venoms from stonefish (genus Synanceja) have marked effects on the cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems and on vascular permeability; the venoms also exhibit haemolytic and hyaluronidase activity. Recently, a toxic protein, stonustoxin (SNTX), was purified from the venom of S. horrida: the primary lethal action of SNTX has been attributed to its potent endothelium-dependent vasorelaxant activity causing a rapid, marked and irreversible hypotension; the other actions of SNTX resemble those of the stonefish crude venoms. | Source Title: | Pharmacology and Therapeutics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/33949 | ISSN: | 01637258 | DOI: | 10.1016/0163-7258(94)90022-1 |
